North Mass Boulder

This place is just beyond words amazing. It has absolutely everything you could possibly need for fitness, hanging out and getting some remote work done, or having a bite to eat. And the cost for membership is so reasonable (they even have a student rate). We are so lucky to have North Mass in our neighborhood!This HUGE converted factory has a climbing area that is the biggest I've ever seen, a cardio workout area with plenty of different types of machines, a weights and lifting space, and two classrooms for guided classes (general workouts downstairs, yoga studio upstairs). All is included free in the membership. Also upstairs is the most comfy and welcoming co-working space with free and fast WiFi, some quiet working spaces you can book yourself with a touch pad on the door, and their awesome cafe! Tons of yummy and healthy food and drink options, plus plenty of coffee and even a bar area for local craft brews or to-go cans for purchase. It also has a little store for climbing and fitness gear. I seriously cannot say enough about this place! And it's also dog- friendly, for well behaved pups on a leash!

We went to go climbing, saw they had a nice collection of shoes, and was going to buy a pair for both of us.The guy helping us seemed pretty knowledgeable, but when we made our selection he kept challenging us and trying to tell us what shoe size we really were. I’m like, buddy, I don’t care what you think, let me try on a pair and I’ll go from there.So finally he comes back with 5 pairs of shoes… they were the wrong brand and wrong size for both of us. Not what we picked out, the ones he kept trying to push on us. I didn’t even bother to try them on, but of course the ones for my wife did not fit. I pointed at a specific pair, “do you have a 9 in those” (the size and brand she first wanted), with a bit more talk back about “you don’t want those” I gave up and flatly said. “Can you go get them?” He finally did.What do you know, they fit her. But by that point we were so weirded out by this guys persistence and complete disregard for our requests, we did not get the shoes, we did not climb, we just left because holy, that was so annoying.

I am new to bouldering, but I love this place! So many routes to try for beginner climbers in Indianapolis. Great time and the cafe in the building is an added bonus. It has good gluten free food options!

I was a member for 6 months and told I could no longer have a personal trainer with me during the hours of 5-8pm due to, “high demand” of the equipment.Not sure if it was a new policy or just a now enforced one.So my only time window available was closed. I’m in my thirties and just starting my fitness journey with no previous experience at a gym, so I need help from a trainer. What should I do, show up and “guess” at the equipment and weights? Honestly it’s a safety concern.Cool place, most of the staff seem cool. But it’s expensive and unusable to me now.I even emailed a manager about it and got one reply back politely telling me “bummer” essentially.Feels like they have lost their mission here and are more focused on the money then quality over all.

This is a very cool concept gym. Keep in mind, bouldering is SO much harder than it looks. It’s about $20 for a day pass, and you sign a few digital waivers before getting started. To climb, you need to wear specific climbing shoes. Your first time here they rent the shoes to you for free, but after that it’s $5.There are open wooden cubbies that you can leave your stuff in. The people at the front are so helpful and easy to talk to if you have any questions! The cafe upstairs is a nice spot to rest and maybe work on your laptop.The actual drinks and food were meh honestly. I got a smoothie and a muffin. The smoothie did taste like “health” but also powdery. The muffin was very dry.

Come in the mornings if you want to climb.Decent atmosphere but almost unusable from 5pm through 9pm. Large sections (at least half today) of the rock wall will be blocked off by climbing groups. Not sure if this is a specific activity/training session put on by the gym or if it's just large private groups. Either way, they make it nearly impossible to climb.Edit: pics added as reference. Note the 100% full cubbies and the fully claimed side walls from large groups.

We did a combined 5 and 7 year old birthday party here and all the kids agreed this was the most fun party they had ever been to. We opted to have an instructor lead the kids and that was absolutely the right choice. The instructor was fantastic and did a great job leading the kids. The private party room was the ideal setting for the kids to have a ton of fun. After the kids got comfortable in the party room, they went out and climbed on top of the big boulders. All-around it was a perfect birthday party. Highly recommended for the 4-10 year old crowd.

Drove from Chicago to Indy for a climbing comp. Such a fun experience. Please host again next year! I can’t say anything about membership experiences, but their facilities are the best! Dare I say best in the country? Beats out all the gyms I’ve been to in WA, CA, UT, CO, NV, NY, WI, and NM. Listed some climbing capitals there! Better than any mega franchise like Movement or Bouldering Project. The facility is huge, the setting is fantastic, and there are tons of amenities that I don’t feel like listing. Seriously, the gym is the largest gym I’ve ever been to. Jealous that we don’t have this gym in IL!

My favorite climbing gym to visit when I'm home for the holidays.Hands down the best bouldering of any gym I've ever been to. At first glance, the number of routes seems a bit low compared to what you might be used to, but I think the sheer amount of wall space balances that out. Every single route, even the ones you know you'll immediately flash, are genuinely fun and thoughtfully set.The gym was also spotless. Nobody likes climbing a route with nasty, dirty holds. Please keep those efforts up.

This is a really cool place and I'm happy to see it in Indy. I hope it does well. I visited North Mass Boulder as part of a Yelp event. Upon entry I was immediately shocked by how large it was. It's very spacious. I didn't do any climbing but decided to have a latte and do some work upstairs in the co-working space. The place overall had a very chill and relaxed feel and if I lived closet, I could definitely see myself going regularly. The cafe had a good menu and I look forward to trying some items when I do have the chance to revisit.
